members 40 having lateral portions 41 and upturned portions 42 connectedby the transverse portion 43. The side members 40 are provided with inturned ends 44 terminating in parallel portion45, receivable by the axle and bearing upon the nuts 20. The stand thus formed is pivotally supported on the axle and may be retained thereon as by the nuts 46. The stand at each side is slotted as at 47 andthe cut out portion is turned inwardly as at 48 to form a stop. This stop is adapted to limit forward and downward movement above 'the platform and forward and upward movement beneath the former being shown by the Fig. l, and the latter by the dotted line in Fig. 1. Herein the seat or side supports 31 therefor are shown notched as at 49*and said notched portions are adapted toreceive the transverse connecting portion 43, and thus serve to further support the seat in the seat forming position, thereby not entirely depending upon the stop 35, and in fact stop 35 may be omitted entirely with this construction, since as here tofore indicated its function to limit the downward movement when in the dash forming position may be omitted, and therefore, since both functions are taken care of, the bracket 35 may be entirely omitted. It will be readily apparent that the projection full lines in expedient for substitute abutment constructions which are the equivalent thereof.

In Figs. 3' and 4 there is illustrated a modified form of the invention from that disclosed in Figs; 1 and 2, and inthis form of the invention, the similar numbers indi cate similar parts. In this form of the invention, however, the side members 131 which: have the extensions 132 supporting the combination seat and dash 33 securedthereto and in spaced relation by the means 34. Said combination seat and dash construction is pivotally supported by the bolt 25 which as previously indicated, pivotally supports a brake construction.v Herein the side members 131 are extended and form side members of a stand. Herein said stand members are indicated by the numeral 140. Said extensions are positioned angularly of the side members as shown by the full lines in Fig. 3. Each freeend of the angular extension 140 terminates in a lateral or transverse portion 141 and an inturned portion 142. The portions 142, however, are not connected by a transverse portion because the same would interfere by engaging .with the wheel. 'The stand construction thus formed, it will be readily apparent, is adapted to straddle the wheel just as the previous stand construction is adapted to straddle the wheel. As shown bythe dotted lines in Fig. 3, 'when the combination seat and dash is'either in the dash or seat forming position, the.- stand construction is inoperative as a stand, but when the seat is moved into an intermediate position the stand portlon will be projected into stand forming position and thus support the vehicle in non-toppling and non-moving relation and the seat in an intermediate position.

but all these modifications, including those which will readily suggest themselves to persons skilled inthe art, are all considered to be within the purview of the appended claims, each of which read upon both of the modifications disclose herein.

The invention claimed is:

'1; In a juvenile vehicle of the character described the combination. of a platform, a wheel supporting said platform, a seat supported above the platform and pivoted upon an axis parallel to the wheel axis, and seat cooperating stand means pivotally supported upon the axis parallel to one of said axes and coincident with the other axis and movable into stand functioning position for elevating therwheel from its support.

2. In a juvenile vehicle of the character described,the combination of a platfornua wheel supporting said platform, a pivo-tally supported seat, "a similarly supported seat cooperating stand construction including a pair of side members having inturned and upwardly turned portions for vehicle. supporting purposes. Y 3.14, levice'of the character described in the preceding claim'characterized by a supporting relationship between the seat and the stand construction in a predetermined position of the seat.

4. A levice of the character described in claim 1 characterized by the positioning of the seat adj acent' the platform for forming s a dash, said stand;construction being nor-' mally inoperable for directly supporting said seat whenthe seat is in the dash forming position.

5. A device of the character described in claim 2 characterized by a supporting relationship between the seat and the stand constructio'n'in a predetermined position of supported above and by a platform, and a stand piVo-tally supported by the platform and 'movable into position to support the seat in a predetermined position.

7. A device of the character described in 3 claim 6 characterized by the positioning of the seat adjacent the plaform'for forming a dash, said'stand construction being noringposition.
